Exciting new opportunities are emerging in the field of catalysis based on nanotechnology
approaches. A new understanding and mastery of catalysis could have broad societal …

The first experiments on catalytic hydrogenation of carbon monoxide were carried out at the
beginning of 20th century. In 1902, Sabatier and Senderens synthesized methane from a …

Heterogeneous chemical reactions at vapor/solid interfaces play an important role in many
processes in the environment and technology. Ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron …

The ability to obtain a molecular-level understanding of the chemistry that takes place at
liquid/solid interfaces is key to the development and improvement of many chemical and …

Developments in the last three decades of kinetics of selective hydrogenation of ethyne in
ethene‐rich streams on palladium catalysts are reviewed. Most of the studies can be …

Tremendous effort has been devoted towards elucidating the fundamental reasons for the
higher activity of hydrated amorphous IrIII/IV oxyhydroxides (IrOx) in the oxygen evolution …

The CO content of hydrogen feed to proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) must
be kept under 1–100 ppm for their proper operation. This can be achieved by using catalysts …

Palladium-based catalysts are attractive for methane combustion on natural gas vehicles at
low temperature. By means of ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, we …

The structure of cobalt species at different stages of the genesis of monometallic and Pt-
promoted cobalt alumina-supported Fischer–Tropsch catalysts was studied using X-ray …

The intermetallic compounds PdGa and Pd3Ga7 are introduced as selective catalysts for the
hydrogenation of acetylene. Single phase PdGa and Pd3Ga7 can readily be prepared by …
